Training Meeting on Particle Size Measurement,
Date: 17th April 2008
Venue: Pride Park Stadium, Derby
Particle Sizing is but one task undertaken within modern analysis laboratories. Such laboratories also experience quite a high turnover of people in order to further the career paths of the staff, and it is not always possible for the outgoing staff to pass on their experience and knowledge to the newcomers.
This more advanced training day, provided by some of the most experienced members of the Particle Sizing community, aims to offer a comprehensive and practical view of the measurement of particle size distributions.
It will concentrate on the four principal techniques of laser diffraction (both dry and wet measurements), electrozone sensing, microscopy and sedimentation. The techniques of sampling, dispersion, presentation of results and current standards and certified reference materials, will be tailored and addressed relevant to each technique . Particular attention will be paid to the pitfalls that may be encountered.
Comprehensive notes will be provided together with a certificate of training.
Interaction with the audience during each talk is to be encouraged.
